Abstract
The productivity of the bee Apis cerana in the traditional beekeepers in Indonesia is low and one of the problems is feeding limited nectar and pollen when the rain season which is decreased productivity. The purposes of this research were to be improving the productivity of the local honeybee of A. cerana by using feeds coconut sap and sugar palm (sap and pollen) in West Lombok, Indonesia. The bee A. cerana of 30 colonies were divided into 6 groups consisting of sugar palm sap without added by sugar palm pollen; coconut sap without added by sugar palm pollen; 50% of coconut sap + 50% of sugar palm sap without added by sugar palm pollen; sugar palm sap was added by sugar palm pollen; coconut sap was added by sugar palm pollen; 50% of coconut sap + 50% sugar palm sap was added by sugar palm pollen. The recent finding showed that the feed from sugar palm sap or coconut sap which was added by sugar palm pollen were increased the brood cells number, honey production (p<0.01), and colony weight (p<0.05) of the bee A. cerana, but not on nest number and worker hatches weight compared to sugar palm sap or coconut sap without added by sugar palm pollen. The coconut sap or sugar palm sap which are added sugar palm pollen improves the productivity of the bee A. cerana. However, coconut sap which is added by sugar palm pollen is recommended as an alternative sustainability feed for the bees.
